Olathe Criminal Lawyer

A criminal charge is a life changing event that can affect you dramatically.
Finding yourself in jail facing the hard fact that you need a proper defense
to keep out of jail is a frightening turn of events in anyone's life.
This is not a situation you want to face alone or with a public defender
to help you. You need a competent and experienced attorney who has the
skill and knowledge to present a strong defense on your behalf.

My firm,
The Law Office of John Harvell, is a well-established and professional criminal defense law firm in Olathe.
I have the trial experience you want in someone fighting for your rights
or to help clear your record altogether through
expungement.

I understand how to communicate with the jury to help them get a clear
picture of my clients' innocence.

I know how to
present evidence in a clear manner and am skilled in examining and cross-examining witnesses.

Every step I take is made strategically to seek the best possible result
for each client I help.

I believe - and prove on a regular basis - that my experience with three
different sides of legal proceedings enables me to be a more effective
criminal defense lawyer.

The penalties for a conviction of your crime can be severe and impact the
rest of your life. Jail or prison time, harsh fines, possible mandatory
drug or anger management classes, loss of driving privileges are all possibilities
with a criminal conviction. Taking immediate steps to begin the investigation
into your charges is crucial if you are to win your case.

My goal as your attorney is to obtain the best possible result for your
circumstances, whether it is a reduced charge, plea bargain, dismissal or getting you
off at trial.
